THE EDUCATION OF MARY.
“There’s rare philosophy in thy head, little woman.”
“So? What were you saying when I startled so?”
“That the silvering of the moon brought out thy person beautifully. So she that sits above the moon, a queen in heaven, would beautify thy soul if thou shouldst elect to put on the character she ever wore.”
“I can’t do that, knowing so little of her.”
“A woman’s way of saying, tell me more.”
“You would not torment your Mary with such repartee.”
“Woman again. Art thou jealous already?”
“Fie.”
